☆ Noryo-yuka in Kyoto to cool off ☆

The “Noryo-yuka” in Kyoto is open now.

What exactly is “Noryo-yuka”?

Noryo-yuka is one of the most popular summer festivals in Kyoto and Osaka.

It is located on the river or outdoors with a clear view of the river by restaurants and cafes.

And they serve food.

In Kyoto　

There are “Kamogawa Noryo-yuka”, “Kibune no Kawadoko”, “Takao no Kawadoko” and “Shozan Keiryo-yuka” in Kyoto,

Each has its own unique atmosphere.

The history of Noryo-yuka dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868).

The Sanjo and Gojo bridges were rebuilt, and the riverbanks of the Kamo River were crowded with spectators and peddlers.

Rich merchants who took notice of this area set up stands and tea stalls.

Hmmm, so this is the beginning of Noryo-yuka.

I didn’t know.

I have an image of Noryo-yuka as a place to go at night,

but what a surprise !

There’s a place where you can enjoy Noryok-yuka from the morning.
